Sunday Stuff & Pic of Buddy

July 19, 2009 by Darlene

Good morning everyone! I hope everyone is having a happy Sunday so far. It’s still early here, just coming on 9 am. We had a really bad storm last night – thunder, lightning and hail. Wowser! It was a goodie! It even tore down some parts of buildings in our downtown area. Anyway, sadly for me I didn’t get to see much of it because Buddy likes to be downstairs during a storm and he likes to have mommy with him. So he had himself a nice nap while mommy read her book.

Let’s see what else is up today. Oh, I have to take back some clippers I bought to cut Buddy’s hair and get another pair instead. I bought him a new collar and harness yesterday-he’s quite impressed with himself and his new collar but he’s not wearing it till his haircut and bath. Which takes us to why I don’t have a pic of him today in his new collar because – ok, here’s the story- I was going to cut his hair on Friday night but the clippers quit so his back is done but his sides and legs and face aren’t. He looks hilarious. Then the clippers I bought yesterday I figured I could use my old attachments on – nope. They try to weasle money out of you any way they can. So he hasn’t had his haircut yet and he looks odd. lol.

On the reading front, today I’m working on Twenties Girl by Sophie Kinsella and it’s really good. The other book I’m starting for a book tour is The Book of Unholy Mischief. Tomorrow I’ll have up a review of The Sinful Life of Lucy Burns and on Tuesday I’ll have Holly’s Inbox up. I’m still having the giggles over that one. I’ve really been in a reading mode which is good for me and good for my reviewing. I’m happy that I’m feeling like that again as I was in a bit of a slump for a while.

Well here’s this weekend’s pic of Buddy. This is last night during the storm. Do your dogs lay like this? I think it’s the absolute cutest when he lays like this with his paws in the air! I just want to snuggle my face in his belly which he’s ok with as long as you don’t make that noise that you do with babies cause that’ll get you your nose nipped. lol.


So, what’s everyone up to today? Any exciting plans? Reading anything good? I’m just about to have myself another coffee and then get started on my day. Have a great day everyone!

    Dar, you MUST take a "before" pic of Buddy. I need to see it, lol. Sounds like you've been reading lots of good books lately. I still need to read Holly's Inbox. I haven't read a negative word about it!

    Enjoy your day!

    My cat lays like that!
    That was some storm you had. We didn't get any of it here in NY. Today (Sunday) it is cloudy but no rain.
    I like T-storms, but not ones that do damage to people's property. I love going out on the porch and watching!

    Hey, thanks for the book win – Off Season, I am excited to get it!

    The only thing exciting I am doing today is going to a Tupperware party of a good friend of mine.

    I am so happy for you that your reading is going better! I need to get off this puter and do some reading myself!

    Awww, look at Buddy πŸ˜€ He's so cute!
    Have a Great Sunday!

    My kitty, the one on my blog, lays like that, with his little paws crossed over his chest. Alot of dogs have issues with storms. Growing up, we had one that literally CHEWED through the garage door to get inside. My cats, on the other hand, could care less, as long as they aren't outside getting wet.

    I'm in the middle of a great book "Hello Goodbye" about a woman saying goodbye to her friends after being diagnosed with brain cancer. My other task…finding out who the heck recommended this book. I am so bad about that.

    My Maggie sleeps like that. Teddy sometimes tries to roll over but he can't seem to do it.

    Here's a picture of Maggie on HER blue couch.

    Buddy is so cute! Our dog rarely lays like that – only when she wants a good belly rub. I'm doing the Unholy Mischief tour too.

    Don't you always wonder what they're dreaming of when they sleep like that? I would have loved to see a pic of his semi-haircut!!

    I'm just lazing around today, reading, drinking iced tea and of course doing some time on the computer!

    Have a great Sunday!

    Our cats were very afraid of thunderstorms — poor Buddy.

  11. Lit and Life says

    July 19, 2009 at 6:36 pm

    Ah,that's funny that Buddy is so afraid of storms that he has to go downstairs but once there appears to be so relaxed that he just kicks back!

    We had a storm last night too! No hail though. We experienced a lot of lightening and monsoon rains. We watched Slumdog Millionaire while is was just a little stormy. Two bottles of wine later, we watched Night of the Living Dead on the computer via Netflix. πŸ™‚ I totally had to decompress after. Looking forward to your review of Holly's Inbox. I just got a copy via Paperback Swap, and I am really looking forward to reading it. πŸ™‚

    I don't have any dogs, but my cat totally lays like that. πŸ™‚

    My biggest boy lays like that when he sleeps sometimes (border collie). My smaller pomeranian rolls around all the time but I don't think he's comfortable on his back. And my kitty can be found napping in that position all the time =)

    I hope your Sunday is still going good!!

    I should be writing today, but my daughters are looking at old family photos – and TALKING loudly about them – so how many lines do you think I have written?

    What a great picture! I am looking forward to hearing your thoughts on Lucy Burns and Holly's Inbox, they both look like fun reads. Today, I went to the Quahog festival with friends, which is an annual event in my town filled with food, music, and arts and crafts. I am working on reading A Reliable Wife (really interesting) and Fragile Eternity (so far so good). And of course checking out the blogs and saying hello. Have a great Sunday!

    I just love to see Buddy. I love a good storm. It is nice to see weather at it's extreme and I will often sit in my conservatory just to listen to it. I have had a fairly quiet weekend, as I have been a bit poorly, but I have managed to finish two books, so that is good for me.

    Our cats lie like that all the time! Milka (the dog) only does it when she's lying on the couch and is in a mood. She has to have the pillows to prop herself up against, apparently.

    I'm glad to hear your reading's been going so well!

  18. Lezlie says

    July 19, 2009 at 10:50 pm

    Skye will lay like that sometimes, but Max, not so much. How is Buddy during storms? The boys aren't too bad unless the thunder is wild. Then Max will go hide behind the toilet.

    Can't wait to hear what you think of Holly's Inbox. My choice for this afternoon is catching up on blogging or finishing the book, and since I haven't blogged in almost 2 weeks this won. Oh well.

    Buddy is too precious and I'm sad you didn't post a picture of him with his funny haircut. πŸ™‚ Now that would have been a sight to see! Glad you weren't too damaged with the hail, but too bad about the downtown areas. We desperately need the rain here!

    Girl! We are reading twins. I just finished reviewing Book of Unholy Mischief (review is posting on the 29th, I think). I read/reviewed Lucy Burns (liked it). I also reviewed and LOVED Holly's Inbox. See? Twins!

    The picture of Buddy is great, although he's so furry I couldn't find his eyes, at first. He's so cute!

    Oh how I love your pics of Buddy!! We had a toy poodle when I was growing up and she would frequently lie on her back like that, particularly if she was wanting her tummy scratched. We also have a pic of her somewhere, lying flat on her back with all four legs sticking straight up in the air, just sleeping–it was when she was still just a few months old πŸ™‚

    Poor Buddy. I'm sure he's very upset that his haircut is only half done but I'm sure he is still cute.

    What is with your weird weather? It was almost 110 here and I would gladly share some of it with you if I could figure out a way to do so.

  23. Bonnie says

    Hope that you had a great day Dar. Glad to hear that you have been reading more lately, will look forward to your reviews. My dogs growing up (poodles)used to love sleeping like Buddy does.

    I just love Buddy! His pictures are adorable and yes, one of my greyhounds lays like the pic of Buddy.
    We had some nasty storms last night also and Mystery (my littlest greyhound) slept in the bathtub. I have to put dog beds in there for her.
    Good luck clipping Buddy. I'm on a mission this week to clip 80+ toe nails. Wish me luck.

    Glad you are out of your reading slump.

    Our dogs liked to sleep like that, too. Bet Buddy looked cute with the partial haircut! We had my parents over for dinner today but I'm going to get a little reading time in tonight – have a great week!

    I have been in a reading slump lately too. Sophie is great for helping get you out of that mood isn't she. I love her books!

    If you have a moment check out this picture of my charlie, I think him and buddy could be brothers, lol. http://twitpic.com/azeen

    That Buddy is a cutie! I love it when my dogs lie like that. Right now I currently have 3 dogs at my house because I'm puppy sitting my sister's pup. Two of them have been curling up and then stretching out together during their naps. It's so cute! I'll have to get a post up about it later today.

  28. Nymeth says

    My dogs are terrified of thunderstorms. The cats don't care, though, or at least they like to act nonchalant πŸ˜› I hope you have a great week, Dar!

    Thanks to all for your comments on my Sunday post and the ever popular Buddy. Thanks also for sharing what you were doing and your doggie or kitty stories.

    Wendy, there was even more damage than I had thought originally. Throughout yesterday more calls came in of the damage done. Wow, we were lucky in my neighborhood compared to others. There was golf ball size hail in some areas. Yikes!

    Those who asked Buddy isn't scared of storms. He doesn't run and hide or anything although he'll bark at the thunder but he does like to go downstairs and go to sleep.

    Lynne, love the pic of Maggie!

    Viv, hope you're feeling better!

    Sheri, lol, I know his eyes are hard to find. They're brown to top it off. He only had them slitted open a little in this pic. Usually I trim the hair around his eyes so he can see. Yes we are reading twins. I have to go check out your review of The Sinful Life.

    Trin, I checked out that pic of Charlie. Boy do they ever look alike!

    My chihuahua Lilly lays like that…I bury my face into her warm little tummy AND make the blowing noises against her skin…she loves it! It just makes her wiggle more, then she jumps up and races around the room.
    Be sure and take a pic of Buddy post haircut…he will be too cute!

    OMG Buddy is adorable. πŸ™‚ we both had pictures of our pets' bellies on line this weekend! πŸ™‚

    Buddy is soooo cute!
    My Darcy will lay on her back and let me make the baby noises to her but not my Sophie. She has nothing to do with that. Darcy will also lay on her back and "wiggle".
    Dogs can be so cute!

    πŸ™‚ So when are we getting to se the new collar? or is this adorable thing already wearing it πŸ™‚

    Our dog lies like this… πŸ™‚ and u know I make that noise when i snuggle onto her tmy. πŸ™‚ she gets up and licks me like crazy! I miss her πŸ™ She has gone to Bombay to be with my parents πŸ™

    Lot of reading going on for you!

    Buddy is adorable!

    Oh my! You're awfully brave to clip Buddy yourself – I'm too much of a wimp to do our dogs πŸ™‚

    Awh..there is the most precious little guy. I love when they lay like that.

    Buddy is too cute! My dog doesn't lie like that, but my mom's peekapoo does!
